Impact

The film is looking to achieve an impact on a social-political, as well as a personal level.

From a personal point of view, we believe we can all identify with a distressing issue as this, and the need for it to be fought. Together with people who have lived through the drama of violence and those who fight for its eradication, we believe we can help people join us in feeling motivated to break the silence which acts as a prison.

Politically, we trust on the potential of reporting these crimes and people taking action to demand political change. This documentary will help professionals working in NGOs, universities and government agencies to think about actions that are still necessary to combat and prevent the various forms of violence against children and adolescents.

Unheard Voices Brazil aims to promote a movement for social change that goes beyond the making of this film. We seek a widening of understanding of how this violence comes about, and creating engagement and commitment in the fight against it.
